ch.2 - Mysterious voice

Everywhere around me were fields full of fruits and vegetables I had never seen before.

In the distance there was an enormous tree overlooking these fields.

On my right there were some red cucumbers and on my left coconut looking like fruits growing from light green bushes.

That means that I am really in a different world.

So this is Arkia. I’ll have to find the Angels of Arkia.

But how am I supposed to do that?

After a while of thinking I came up with a strategy.

Let’s think about it as a videogame.

What would you do first in a video game?

Bingo! I am going to find a town or someone I can talk to.

I got up and started walking towards the big tree I saw earlier.

That seemed like a location where a town would be. I was constantly looking around me but I couldn‘t see anyone.

Am I here all by myself?

It took me longer than I expected but after quite some time I was finally standing in front of the giant tree. Trunk of the tree was at least 10 meters in diameter and it could be more than 50 meters tall.

House made of black bricks stood next to it.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

It had purple doors made out of metal and no windows.

It looked tiny compared to the tree.

It smelled in front of it. There was a bucket full of fish.

Ew, they don’t look fresh at all. They must have been dead for a few days, maybe even weeks.

I knocked on the doors.

There was no response.

I knocked once again.

Still no response.

I tried to open the doors.

No luck, they were locked.

„Is anyone here?“ even after shouting there was no response.

It looks like my quest of finding a town has failed.

The only thing I could have thought of was to look around a little more.

I went along the trunk.

Once I was on the other side of the tree I saw something strange.

There were runes carved into it.

I ran my fingers over them.

Nothing happened.

What a shame, I thought something would definitely happen.

Just when I was about to leave my right hand started glowing and the runes disappeared.

What is this glow? What is happening?

After a few minutes the glow went away and suddenly I heard someone.It was a female voice.

„Felix, we were finally able to make contact.“

Who is talking to me? I don’t see anyone, but I can still hear her clearly.

„My name is Ocera and you can not see me because I do not want to show myself.“

What? How does she know what I am thinking about?

„Are you reading my mind?“

„Exactly, Felix, I am reading your mind.“

All of a sudden my whole body was shaking.
